I think lots of silver bolts on black looks a bit silly, so I sprayed them all black with BBQ paint and cured them in the over. They look brilliant and it will also mean they are a bit more protected from corrosion.
I didn't paint the screw heads, so they were protected by newspaper and I stuck them into a piece of wood to hold them for painting:-
After a couple of layers of paint:-
I also took out the fuel cap bolts (very easy):-
After being put in the over for two 10 minute sessions:-
The gas tank bolts and washers:-
The dash bolts:-
The upper fairing bolts:-
The gas cap bolts:-
The lower fairing bolts:-
If they get messed up, I can easily sand and repaint. I'm trying to decide whether to paint some of the larger bits or find somewhere that can power-coat them. I'm not even sure if all the bits of the footrest hangers can be painted.
